Council Bluffs Recycling Center

The Council Bluffs Recycling Center is located on 12.8 acres of land at 4441 Gifford Road. It is the only facility of its kind in the Council Bluffs/Omaha metro area and has grown very rapidly since its opening in 1997. The recycling facility currently receives most of its volume from the Council Bluffs residents on curbside recycling and from the recycling containers at seven area locations. It also processes recyclables from containers located in rural Pottawattamie County, Harrison County, Mills County and the Recycling Center's drive-through bay. These items are hand-sorted, baled and sold to brokers and mills by Solid Waste Management Division Staff.

Payment is due upon disposal of items. Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check and credit card. We are not able to extend credit, start charge accounts, hold checks or “carry” loads until the end of the day.
